Ode to the Gilmore Girls {Day 18}

By Rachel & Emily (Rachel's super cool party people sister)



Once upon a time when I was crazy preggo
I visited my sister and stayed in her cute little condo.
We were feeling extra lazy so we journeyed to Stars Hollow,
Lorelai and Rory became our friends that we always wanted to follow.

After years and years, the Gilmore Girls were just like friends,
and we cried and we cried when it all came to an end.
Thus, we sat down tonight to write them a POE-m,
full of quippy old memories and we think you may know 'em.

So pull out your coffee cup and take a seat,
we hope that you like it and call it a treat!
Copper Boom, dear friends it's time to get started.
We hope that you don't think that we are retarded.

Season one brought us Chilton, and Rory with Dean,
a kiss on aisle seven, and Paris--the mean.
"I have very important thickening needs",
a thousand yellow daisies, and the deer that hit me.
Rory's two birthdays, and being called Mary,
and Richard's heart attack was ever so scary.
Rory wore an apron and cooked Dean some steak,
we all agreed that marrying Max would have been a mistake.
Luke pined away for Lorelai his friend,
and we all hoped that they would get together in the end.

In season two, rebel Jess stepped off of the bus,
tortured Dean, and caused quite a fuss.
A road trip to Harvard caused by a broken engagement,
ended our hope for a bouquet with a pot roast scent.
A tisket a tasket, Jess bid on her basket,
and Luke tried to stuff everything in Uncle Louie's too-small casket.
The Bracebridge Dinner was an evening with friends,
and the Bjork snowman won first prize in the end.
Rory danced with a fan, hid cd's with Lane Kim,
and of course we all laughed when Paris showed up to practice WPMs.
Viscous Trollop lipstick, shrimp cocktail and cucumber water,
proved Emily could not get along with her daughter.
A bus ride to New York, Sookie got married,
Lorelai got together with Christopher, then he left for stupid Sherry.

In season three our minds got crazy, lazy, hazy from the days of summer,
Rory couldn't chose between the two boys, and that was such a bummer.
Lane rebelled against Mrs. Kim and dyed her hair (twice),
and Dean's public break-up sure wasn't nice.
Luke continued to love Lorelai and even taught her to fish,
and a deep fried turkey was Jackson's Thanksgiving wish.
Jess and Rory--The Early Years--started with a bang,
their first kiss at a gas station--dang!!!
We saw a flashback of Lorelai at sixteen,
and Jess got beaked by swan--how mean!
The Inn caught on fire, Lorelai sleeps over at Luke's
the Poes invade, and Paris and Rory duel and duke.
Prom doesn't happen, but Rory does graduate,
Jess disappears to California and buying the Dragonfly becomes Sookie & Lorelai's fate.

The two Lorelai's arrive at Yale in season four,
they make Luke carry the mattress o're and o're.
Rory is crowned Ice Cream Queen and meets Naked Guy in the hall,
Luke got engaged, married and divorced all in all.
Rory comes home to find "Die Jerk" on her door,
Prais sleeps with an old dude, BLLLLAAAHHHHor.
Lorelai the First passes away,
Emily goes crazy and stays in her pjs all day.
Rory travels to Florida for her first spring break,
and Lorelai starts thinking what a cute couple her and Luke would make.
It ends with a wedding dance, and Dean's marital trouble,
one relationships starts and other...it crumbles.

Season five, we finally see the long awaited kiss,
between Luke and Lorelai, even though Kirk's clothes are amiss.
Rory runs away to Europe after a big mistake leaves us shocked,
Logan enters the picture and Pippi Virgins are mocked.
Rory falls for Logan when she jumps off an apparatus,
joins the Life and Death brigade and yells "In Omnia Paratus!"
Lorelai finally opens the Dragonfly Inn,
Sookie gets pregnant, and Emily and Richard's marriage caves in.
Crazy Taylor opens a museum with mannequins talking,
the Huntzbergers treat Rory badly and send her walking.
Rory finds herself in jail for stealing a yacht,
leaving Lorelai and Rory's relationship shot.
The season seems like it will end, making us mope,
but hearing the words "Will you Marry me Luke?" lets it end with some hope.

Season six--what a mess we find ourselves in,
when mother and daughter can't seem to speak again.
Paul Anka is welcomed, the D.A.R. replaces Yale,
Lorelai plans a wedding but Luke has a secret to tell.
A long lost daughter shows up at Luke's Diner,
feelings are hurt, and on the basketball court, Luke almost gives Logan a shiner.
Martha's Vineyard, plans for Asia, and Lane marries,
Luke drags his feet to the altar--oh why did he tarry?
Lorelai gives her man a strict ultimatum,
but he doesn't respond and it makes her hate him.
She runs off to Christopher's stupid old bed,
and the season ends with us banging our heads.

Season seven--is it really the end?
We're not ready to say goodbye to our friends!
Lorelai runs off to Paris, and marries Rory's dad,
Luke is so hurt, so angry and sad.
Rory graduates Yale, says no to Logan,
gets a job as a reporter writing Obama's political slogans.
A knit-a-thon takes place, Michel's chow puppy dies,
Lorelai and Christopher start fighting, and Lane gives birth to two little guys.
A maze of hay brings clarity to both Lorelai and Rory,
Rory goes for the NY Times and Lorelai decides to continue her Luke story.
Luke proves his love by sewing tarps into the wee hours of the night,
and when he kisses Lorelai at the end--finally everything is made right.

We weren't ready to say Bon Voyage to our friends,
but alas, we suppose, every good thing must come to an end.
So farewell Gilmore Girls, it sure has been fun
we wrote this silly poem for you...but now we are done.
